Dysphoria

“The trouble with anger is, it gets hold of you. And then you aren’t the master of yourself anymore. Anger is. And when anger is the boss, you get unintended consequences.”

― Jeanne Duprau, The City of Ember

Stevie’s hero is the Hulk because he’s the only one who is like Stevie. When she gets too upset, strange things start to happen. When she’s angry, she’s been known to catch on fire. When she’s sad, she melts (she even became a puddle once.) But today has been the worst day yet. Today she felt dysphoria.
